School fucking pisses me off. Fuckin' teacher gave me a goddamn "U" in Biology, even thought I turned in the work and got good grades on the worksheets and tests. School is bull-mcfucking-shit.
No...why would you think that? Because I cuss often in my posts? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
One of the problems with todays teaching methods is they are geared more to the female style of learning which is why males are falling behind (in Uk at least) in subjects such as maths etc. male and female learning styles are vastly diffrent and the changes in style over recent yrs have removed the 'male style'. I'd like to see the following taught in class (along with the usual of course): Anger management and stress control Budget control and financial planning (to avoid debt in adult hood) First Aid Cooking and cleaning and other domestic life skills, nutrition/diet etc. Basic manners and social skills! Sign language (no reason why deaf can't be part of wider community) Maybe globally esperanto Basic DIY basic car maintenance self defence basically some bloomin' life skills that the parents don't teach anymore!
This isn't realistic, but I think school would be much more interesting if it wasn't fixiated on basis of someday we're going to grow up and have a set job in a set career, etc. etc., but rather we chose what we wanted to learn simply because we wanted to learn it, and didn't need to worry about deciding on a career. Of course, that just doesn't work with society today, and in a lot of cases, probably won't work at all. A little more realitiscally, it'd be great if school was more hands on than sitting at a desk taking notes all day from a teacher who simply repeats things out of a textbook.
Unfortunately, most settle for what is "realistic", and thus, rob themselves of what is real. Society today has been for the most part blinded by this system, and most don't even have a clue how perverted and far from reality it really is. Then, there are a few who for a moment catch a glimpse of what is going on, but most of those realize that the cost for being true to themselves is too great, for their stomachs, and many fantasies and lust for vanity are more important than finding their true selves. Strait and narrow is the way to heaven, and few there are that find it.
True, I've been thinking what you said for quite some time, the reason why I called it unrealistic is for the exact reason you said:
